Science and Spiritual Practices

We live in a time when many people are engaging in spiritual
practices without belonging to particular religious traditions.
Moreover, scientists have built up a substantial body of research
that explores their many and various tangible effects. In this
episode, Rupert Sheldrake and Mark Vernon, discuss the widespread
interest in practices from mediation to pilgrimage, which Rupert
investigates in his new book, Science and Spiritual Practice.
They ask what the science shows, how such practices can be
understood, and where the engagement with spiritual experiences
outside of the context of metaphysical convictions might lead.
